Patriots owner Robert Kraft released a statement Wednesday, saying the "decision" by the NFL to uphold Tom Brady's four-game suspension is "unfathomable to me."

Known to be tight with commissioner Roger Goodell, Kraft unloaded on the league. "Six months removed from the AFC Championship game, the league still has no hard evidence of anybody doing anything to tamper with the psi level of footballs," he said. "The league’s handling of this entire process has been extremely frustrating and disconcerting. ... there are those in the league office who are more determined to prove that they were right rather than admit any culpability ... Back in May, I had to make a difficult decision that I now regret. I tried to do what I thought was right. I chose not to take legal action. I wanted to return the focus to football. ... I was willing to accept the harshest penalty in the history of the NFL for an alleged ball violation because I believed it would help exonerate Tom. ... I was wrong to put my faith in the league."

Patriots owner Robert Kraft believes the NFL should "work very hard" to have a team in London before the end of the decade.

In other words, the league won't be abandoning its fixation with bridging the pond any time soon. Kraft also believes it's "very important" for the NFL to have "one or two" teams in downtown Los Angeles. It's unclear if the league prefers London and L.A. to get their teams via expansion or relocation. Expanding from 32 teams would water down a product that already struggles to find 32 competent quarterbacks. Thu, Jul 17, 2014 07:32:00 PM

The Patriots kept Brissett off I.R. because they had to start him in last week's loss to Buffalo. He underwent surgery on Friday and will now be stashed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. Brissett couldn't get the offense moving against the Bills, but he showed promise in preseason games and in his first start against the Texans. He should get a ton of run in the 2016 preseason and is a promising long-term prospect for New England.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the "plan is to make sure he's ready for the playoffs," suggesting he will be out for the rest of the regular season. Amendola does not have much fantasy value on his own, but his absence solidifies Malcolm Mitchell's spot in the offense. Mitchell is shaping up as a solid WR3 despite a tough schedule the rest of the way.

It'll cost Jackson at least the first six weeks of the season. We assume Jackson's issue stems from an offseason knee scope. Last year's No. 111 overall pick started nine games as a rookie. The Patriots are moving forward with rookie Joe Thuney and Jonathan Cooper as their starting guards.
